The regulating unit 34 can return to the original position by the elastic unit, and the regulating unit 34 can be pressured for an additive amount if necessary.

If the tint component stored within the tint cylinder 35 is burn out completely, the sealing cover 37 can be separated from the casing 31 to take out the tint cylinder 35 from the casing 31. And then some tint component can be filled within the tint cylinder 35 or the tint cylinder 35 can be replaced with new one. Alternatively the tint cylinder 35 can be replaced with other one with a different color. The tint component can be discharged from the tint cylinder 35 to the tint tool 36 by a capillary phenomenon or an open-close slit.

The discharging structure of the tint component will be explained below.

FIG. 4 shows a discharging structure in the lip tint container according to embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , a moving limit edge 351 may be formed within the tint cylinder that has a shape of a strip protruding from an inner surface to a center. The moving limit edge 351 may have a shape that becomes sharpen as it extends to an end and may displaced on the upper part of the tint cylinder 35.

The contacting brush 363, 363 a may be protected by the protecting cap 38 when it is not used, and the protecting cap 38 may be coupled to the lower part of the casing or the guiding part 362. One or more flowing holes 381 may be formed at the side of the protecting cap 38, wherein the flowing hole 381 may become so small size that an air can pass the flowing holes 381 keeping humidity or an extra matter from passing. Some air entering the protecting cap 38 through the flowing holes 381 may maintain the pressure of the protecting cap 38 in a predetermined range and the protecting cap 38 becomes dry when the container is not used.

Referring to FIG. 4 (b), the discharge regulating plate 41 may be made from flexible silicon or the like, and may have a structure of a thick plate or the like. One and more pressure opening slits 411 may be formed at the discharge regulating plate 41 comprising a groove type of a lower part and a through hole penetrating the thickness. And the separate receiving part 412 may be formed at the lower part of the through hole.

If some pressure may apply from the upper part of the tint cylinder 35, the pressure opening slit 411 may become open because of the elasticity of the discharge regulating plate 41 to make some tint component flow downwardly. And then the tint component flows into a storing means having capillary tubes such as a fiber, cotton or the like. The storing means may be connected to the contacting brush 363, for example the tint component can flow to the contacting brush 363 through the pressure opening slit 411 such as a capillary phenomenon. The pressure opening slit 411 may have a shape that the upper part is a groove shape and the lower part is a shape of hole so that the tint component may flow to the tint brush 363 through the separating receiving part by the applied pressure. Furthermore, the structure according the present invention makes the tint component be maintained within the tint cylinder 35, when the tint brush 363 is not used. And some tint component may supply to the tint brush 363 only when the tint brush is used.
